Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that have too many severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second highest score was long-term care, but it nevertheless received a grade of just D in that area. This ended up being a relatively poor grade. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinates 99.56332 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility offered only 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is short-term care, in which this facility was given a poor grade in this area also. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously a major concern. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
